My old IRI Hydraulic calculator has C factors on the back as follows for
iron and steel pipe:  New -120, 10yrs -110; 15-100; 20-90; 30-80; 50-70 and
75 yrs - 60.

I'm assuming you'll also be using a revised C factor for the UG.   If so,
you may want to run water flow tests to determine your actual C-factor.

I hope this helps.
